All Hail the Next Big Thing

by Howard Indian Muse


 

All hail the next big thing.

All gather 'round as we

dance and sing its praises.

 

Somehow the general taste

has headed southward.

Somehow the emperor

has gone and lost his clothes.

 

A lovely little PDA

you have right there my friend.

 

How much memory does it have?

 

How many Paris Hilton videos

does one person need?

 

And TiVO records all day long.

 

The unblinking camera eye

captures reality

in a pig's eye.

 

Yet no cameras over there.

 

All hail the next big thing.

Crown the idiot king.

Someone pass the dunce cap.

 

Somehow the ballots

ended up on a bonfire.

Where did these idiots

come from anyway?

 

A lovely little Blackberry

you have right there my friend.

 

Can you Google the truth?

 

How many more innocent lives

does this machine require?

 

Onward to Zion.

 

Still no truth from over there.

 

All hail the idiot king.

The last stream has been poisoned

and still we can't eat money.*

 

Can you handle the truth?

 

*per Hopi prophesy
